It's like DNS except individual identifiers can be managed independently (imagine if example.com/foo and example.com/bar were managed by two different companies).
One problem that it does not address is human-friendliness. Identifiers all start with a handle prefix that's a number like 10.1109/ or 10000.1/.
Though, the latest release of the software will map DNS names to handle prefixes.
It's interesting technology and quite robust. For $50 a year you can host as many handles as you want.
